Jimi Disu said that Hamzat was there a few days ago and that he's happy that the bar has been raised in the Lagos governorship contest.

He said that you must be able to hold your own if you want the people to vote for you

Jimi Disu says that he believes that Gbadamosi was the best at the debate.

He said that he's not saying that he is the best candidate o! Before people accuse him of endorsing a candidate.

We are live.

Obyback.

Does anyone know is gbadamosi ever served in government, i want to know if he is a tinubu product

I don't know if he served in government. I heard about him for the first time in 2011 when he contested for the PDP ticket. He contested for the PDP ticket again in 2015 (he wore a bullet proof vest to the primaries).

However, I'm not surprised by his performance. He is from a family that has been in politics since the 1960s. His uncle, Rasheed Gbadamosi, was the youngest commissioner in Lagos in the early 1970s. I think S.O. Gbadamosi was his grandfather and SOG was involved in politics in the first republic.

I will definitely be listening, femi hamzat was amazing on Tuesday, can't wait to listen to sanwolu. Agbaje wasn't inspiring on Saturday.
i hope naptu2 does call in

Jimi Disu has just tweeted that Banky W will appear on the show, but I don't yet know the time and date.

I forgot to include this on the other thread. I wonder if he will raise the issue today.

naptu2:
I forgot to explain Jimi Disu's comments about the nursing school.

When Jimi Disu asked Jimi Agbaje the question about the nursing school on Sunday, I said that it was one of his favourite topics. I listened to his show in 2014/2015 when he interviewed Akinwunmi Ambode and the nursing school was one of the issues with which he tackled Ambode.


The Lagos State Nursing School was on Awolowo Road for many decades. The complex is almost opposite Creek Hospital (military hospital) and it is just before the ramp that takes you to Ring Road Bridge (on your way to 3rd Mainland Bridge).

However, the school was moved to Igando c2012 and
the complex in Ikoyi has been abandoned. The walls are covered in dust and weeds are growing in the premises.


There is a rumour that Bola Tinubu bought over the complex from the Lagos State Government and it is that rumour that annoys Jimi Disu very much. He often challenges APC candidates that they should explain what has happened to the complex and none has given a satisfactory answer.

Jimi Disu said that the nursing school was built at that location because it is close to the General Hospital Lagos, the Island Maternity Hospital and the Massey Street Children's Hospital and this makes it easy for student nurses to get practical experience. He is angry that the school was moved to a far place like Igando.


However, on the other hand, I've also heard a different story.

I remember that Bola Tinubu fell ill when he was governor and he had to go to the United States for treatment. Many people criticised him for going abroad for treatment. When he returned he said that he was working towards establishing a hospital in Lagos that would be like the hospital in which he was treated.


He later came up with the idea of a medical park (the Obasanjo led federal government also had a similar idea). The idea was that Nigeria had many medical doctors that were practicing abroad. These doctors were among the best in their field. Therefore, the government would provide infrastructure (land, electricity, etc) for these doctors to come back to Nigeria and set up practices where the major ailments that were afflicting Nigerians would be treated.


Basically, it would be like a large park where surgeons, dentists and other Nigerian medical professionals that are based abroad would be able to practice for a few months every year. This would reduce the need to go abroad.

It was initially proposed that the park would be in Lekki, but it was later decided (during the Fashola era) that it should be at the nursing school complex. There are billboards on the walls of the nursing school that advertise the medical park idea.

However, the complex has been abandoned since c2012 and its decrpit state is annoying a lot of Lagosians.

OboOlora:
Oo pls send the link for the people out of town.
That guy is one intelligent dude not that psychiatric patient of the failed pharmacist!

The link is in the first post.

celeiyke:
Kindly give a balanced report or are u a descendant of Lai. South east governors pleaded with ohanaeze to shift the meeting to allow some members who belong to apc to attend its rally. South east governors can't do anything beyond pleading as ohanaeze is not an appendage of the governors forum nor reports to it

The main reason wasn't even because of the rally, but because Buhari will commission the Zik Mausoleum during his visit (that's according to Governor Umahi's statement that was read on the NTA News yesterday night).

I just heard on NTA news that Igbos governors forum has asked Ohaneze indigbo to postpone their meeting/celeberation because President Buhari is coming to South East..

Yes, I saw it too. He's going to commission the Zik Mausoleum. That's the part of the trip that the south-east governors are interested in.

(He's also going to campaign)

It's over

Would you accept the result if you lose.

Sowore: If the election is free and fair, there's no way I will lose

Earlier, Kadaria asked if Sowore was taking ideas from APC because he talked about ranching and APC also talked about ranching.

Rufai said that the APC didn't talk about ranching. He said that they talked about cattle colonies and grazing routes.

Kadaria said that they talked about ranching.

Sowore said that they were on the Candidates and they didn't talk about ranching. He said that Kadaria might not have understood them because it was difficult to understand Buhari.

Kadaria said that Osinbajo talked about ranching.

Sowore said that Osinbajo might know about ranching but that doesn't mean that Buhari knows about it. He said that it didn't seem like Buhari and Osinbajo understood each other unlike he and his running mate

Sowore is talking about marijuana.

He says the chemical in marijuana that people are worried about is THC and that marijuana can be grown without it.

He says that NDLEA burns 1.3 trillion worth of marijuana every year. He said that Canada needs it. The US needs it. We should send it to them and get alternative source of income.

Sowore is talking about funding the education of kids.

Kadaria asks where the money will come from.

Sowore said that he had student loans in America even before he regularised his paperwork.

Kadaria says that America has more money than Nigeria.

Sowore says that he can fund it with judicious use of nigerian resources.

Kadaria asked about the National Assembly. She says that most Nigerians believe that they are overpaid. What will he do about it?

Sowore says that this is exactly what he was talking about. Maximum pay and minimum pay. He goes on to talk about how terrible it is that the legislators are overpaid.

Kadaria asks what the solution is.

Sowore says that the problem is not that Nigeria is not making enough money, but that we are not distributing it properly.

Kadaria says that we are also not making enough money.

Sowore said that someone in the audience asked him what will make money apart from rice. He said that it's not cocoa, oil or cattle, but knowledge.

He gives examples of microsoft and other tech companies. He said that there's no reason why FUTA or the one in Minna cannot produce the next tech genius.


Kadaria asks what Sowore will do about the legislators.

He says that, according to the law, legislators are not meant to earn more than 1 million in allowances. He said that he will take them to court.

handebayor:
Please is there any radio station airing this programme for people away from tv

I was away from the TV when it started. I searched all the radio stations, but I couldn't find it.

However, the organisers say that it's on Radio Nigeria

Sowore says that the UBEC act makes it mandatory for kids to go to school.


He says that Buhari does not care about almajiri because his kids are not almajiris.

He said that when he was a kid in Ondo, there were task forces that made sure kids attended school.

He said that there were parents looking around for kids that were not in school and dragging them back to school by their ears. He said that's African morals.


He said that WAI Brigade dragged him back to school when he was a kid.

He said that Kadaria shouldn't say that he is praising Buhari. He said that he's trying to show that these issues can be dealt with by law enforcement

One of the people in the audience asks what else does he think that Nigeria can use to make money apart from rice

Segun Awosanya (@Segalink) is asking a question

Sowore says that the reason that states can't pay is becausr they have irresponsible governments.

He gave an example of Kebbi State that has been able to generate money from rice.

Kadaria says that's an APC state and she asks if Sowore is commending an APC government.

Sowore says that the money is owned by the people of Nigeria and not by the APC and so it's not about the APC.

They are talking about minimum wage.

Sowore talks about ghost workers and says that everybody, even the police, Kemi Adeosun and Buhari agree that it is a problem.

He says that he will tackle that problem with biometrics. With a retina scan you can tell who is who and when people are at the office.


He explains that by tackling corruption and waste, the government will be able to pay 30k minimum wage.

Kadaria asks about the state governments. How will they be able to pay when some of them are not viable?

Sowore says that the money that is saved at the federal level will be saved in a pool and distributed to the states.

Kadaria asks how he will square that with restructuring because people are complaining about sharing money to the states and he is planning to share money to the states.
